Take A Sip

“I want songs to stay with me for life, but I don’t really want the taste of beer that I drank to stay with me for life.”

“Ok so Juice Springsteen to go with Pedro The Lion. As I said before in relation to a husky voiced man, so let’s give this one a go.” Malco states before cracking open the can. “Delicious actually, Thank you! It’s a delicious beer and I’m just trying to come up with some kind of pun. I’m struggling. I would defi nitely drink that beer on a night out down the pub. “We’ve got Linkin Park which I think goes with Unfi ltered British Lager because the reason I’ve chosen that is that the metal scene in the UK when I was a little nipper was strong indeed. So I’m just giving an ode to the UK numetal scene. I loved Linkin Park and all of their good songs,” she says before taking a sip. “That is a beer. You know once again, in the end it doesn’t really matter alright? Cause it all goes down the same way and it gets you pissed. “Right, [the] last one we’ve got Julien’s

Before we opened the shop I thought I hated sour beer and now it seems to be my go-to.

Beer Riff are a brewery from Swansea I’m not ashamed to admit we stocked them because their cans looked cool so I was delighted to discover their Sharp Dressed Sour was an absolute delight. Blueberry and cherry with a strong maple fl avour to fi nish. So good!

As for my top record, I’d have to say The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots And All by New Pagans. Dark yet catchy rock for fans of

Sonic Youth,

Wolf Alice and The Pixies.

“This is like a surf beer for surfers. That’s just Jules all over man. She loves surfi ng.”

really lovely record. We’re supposed to go on tour in the states and I’m supporting her this year. That will be good. I hope she doesn’t chuck me off the bus for this.This is like a surf beer for surfers. That’s just Jules all over man. She loves surfi ng. Malted barley hops, alright let’s try this. “It’s got a very powerful aftertaste that really lingers for a long time and I’ll say that about this record actually: it’s very powerful, it lingers for a long time and the songs will stay with you for life. I want songs to stay with me for life, but I don’t really want the taste of beer that I drank to stay with me for life, but I think that was probably the closest pairing. “I like the Juice Springsteen the best. That one’s just like nice juice so maybe I just don’t like beer anymore? Maybe I grew out of beer? Anyway, good records, good beers, lovely time.”

We’ve got a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks as we wanted to make sure that we never leave anyone out. If you’e the only nondrinker in the group, we’ve got you covered! This section will continue to change and we’re always on the hunt for more interesting soft drink options. Sometimes 12pm on a Saturday is just a little to early to crack open a beer while looking through hundreds of records, so for those times, crack open a Soda Folk Cream Soda or a Square Root Ginger Beer and sit back, relax and revel in the fact that you’ve just found the last variant of that record you’ve been searching for!

There’s loads of great LPs in the shop so this pick is a hard choice. But my current favourite has to be Love In The Time Of Email by Antarctigo Vespucci. It’s full of hits that just makes me want to dance around and sing along to. For anyone that doesn’t know, it’s a collaboration of two great artists Chris Farren and Jeff Rosenstock.
